Has anyone had problems using an i5 on this motherboard? Also, could i install an ASUS GeForce GTX 750Ti on this to make it a mini Gaming PC?

I plugged in an i5-3470 into this board and it functions great. I haven't gotten around to plugging a video card up to it yet, but I would think it'd be fine so long as you get an ITX case that will fit it. ITX gaming rigs aren't uncommon.

Im running mine with a corsair 750 w power supply and it is running fine. Im not one hundred percent sure but maybe give pcpartspicker a try and just put what you have andd the graphics card to the build.

Not all CPU's work on all motherboards. Check your motherboard documentation and make sure it supports this CPU. You need the board to support an LGA 1155. If it does then check to make sure you have it oriented properly. I can't remember if this CPU has pins or not on the bottom but if so, make sure none of them are bent. If everything checks out then I would contact Amazon about a replacement.

750Ti cards are not SLI compatible and you can use only one of them in any computer you build, regardless what motherboard you buy

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, no problems whatsoever. Had a lot of runtime errors with an Asus itx motherboard. Would only work with Windows XP. I think it has do with the BIOS being UEFI. After the initial boot sequence, the computer would run for 2-5 minutes and suddenly lock up and display all sorts of runtime errors. Finally gave up and used Windows XP. Otherwise, this is a much better motherboard. Highly recommended.

Yes it works in this motherboard very well..I have a MSI 750 TI 2gb and it works just fine. My 750 TI is overclocked by me and it works great in this motherboard.

Everything in my other comment stands, but I just noticed the huge money you're putting into the card. Do a lot of research before buying. Talk to a lot of gamers. I guess you already have a build using this mobo, and are upping the video card. I would think all should work well, especially if you have not had the flaky stuff that's happened with mine. Make sure you have a strong power supply.

I haven't tried it, but amazon emailed me thinking I could answer your question, so by the time I noticed that you weren't asking about the same CPU I put in this mobo that I got, it was too late. So at least I'll throw in my 2 cents worth. It's the same socket type, I don't see why it shouldn't work....

It's not so much an issue with the CPU, I think what you meant to ask is will it work with your motherboard.

I personally haven't baught any memory for that motherboard yet althought the type you want to use looks like it's compatible with the GA990FXAUD7 motherboard although some other responders have mentioned some bios issues and I think you are supposed to at least use two sticks of ram in a dual channel configuration for the motherboard to work properly.

No https://www.google.com/shopping/product/259522134339097545/specs?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&site=webhp&q=Cooler+Master+Elite+130&oq=Cooler+Master+Elite+130&sa=X&ei=fZUIVO2vOIGvyATPyoKACw&ved=0CKoIELgv Here are the specification for that box = Mini ITX board only sorry great board Iam still using my first board I loved it so much I bought 2 more for backups. You'll need to do a search on Mini ITX or search for the a full size case. My advice would be to stay with good tech like asus My computer setup with one of the new solid state hard drives P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3 Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB Seagate Barracuda 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 2TB, 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s ASUS GeForce GTX 550 Ti ENGTX550 TI DC/DI/1G Video Card - 1GB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 2.0(2)

1.0 most likely, but you might get lucky and get one from the new stock. It's a crap board anyway, only 4-phase CPU power connector. There are far better options for mini itx in this price range. The GA-Z97N-Gaming 5 for instance.

I used the Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor G860 LGA 1155-BX806236860 with no problems...Thank that board will work with i7,i5, or i3 intel LGA 1155 socket.

DavidLJ48- do you have the 780i motherboard also? If you do then you shouldn't have any problems running the cpu. Have You tried upgrading your bios before you upgrade the cpu?

Hello: Most i3 processors would work. The socket on the motherboard however is a 1155.Check out the Gigabyte website for supported processor list. Frankly I would not use a i3 on this mother board.Some i3 cache is not supported. Best bet is to use a i5 or i7. Its a pretty good motherboard.

The MSI motherboard like most motherboards comes with a standard drivers to install and that should work considering the that it is compatible with 3rd Gen Intel ivy-bridge CPUs. If that does not work then try to use a different computer and get the most up-to-date drivers off of MSI's website and then put it on the computer. Of course this is assuming that your building a computer but it should work just fine without using the second method thats just more of a just in case situation. Bottom line is yes the motherboard is compatible with those CPUs you should have no problem with it.

You should not have problems with this motherboard, You need a medium case or bigger, a LGA 1150 processor, DDR3 RAM.
